I need to understand what kind of wand I would need to transform myself into a raven, other animals I would like to become are koala bears, salmon, and a moth. i need these spells to spy on my enemies aka World of Warcraft nerds (haha, seriously, they should get lives right?)

i dont think ther is any type of spell that can take care of this. Your best bet would be transmutations with alchemy because the basis of alchemy is to break something down and re-assemble it into something else of equivalence.

So i cant help much with that, i'm no alchemist, so your best bet is with alchemy girl, have fun!

If you want to spu on someone, Astral Projection would be a better way of accomplishing this, I can't even begin to comprehend how hard it would be to actually turn yourself into a raven.

If you are dead set on doing this, it's going to take a lot of time to accomplish, and it won't be something you can just turn on and off. Something to consider: If you are not aware of what you are doing, you would become the animal you turned into, and that includes the way you think. You'd have the instincts and desires of an animal. That is, if you could even pull this one off.

yes Rasmenar you are right, astral projection is easier than actually shape-shifting, i mean there are spells but not that strong. the only type of magic i can think of is a glamour spell, but then again its a powerful illusion spell used over the ages, but to succeed with that u need to start at the very beginning and trying to change ur eye colors and start from there....
